Scriptural term-l don't want any
man to cut a figure on ball room
floor with his arm around my wife or
daughter, and I don't believe you do
Purity-purity is what we want"
But if the contac t of the arm is Oh.
jectonable in the dance, where there
is no kissing, does that contact be-
come purer when 1t is the prelude to
a scuffle and a smack? Are q young
girls lips notmore sacred than her
gloved handor waist? Iconfess to a
surprise sometimes at the cOmposure
with which mothers sit in a ball
room and see their daughters revolv
ing in the arms Of men whom they
know to be coarse. if not vile, but
the contact is, after a Il comparative
ly slight and temporary, whereas the
thought Of having received a kiss
from such person would be, to a
truly refined woman an i9nominy
which yhe waters of the Atlantic
Ocean could not easily wash away.
To tn ose who believe it possible
or desirable for very young people
to live without social inter course.
or to live wholly by religious and
intellectual companionship, | have
nothing to say, except to express
disagreement with their belief. If
all that our youths and maidens can
reasonably demand is a prayer-meet-
ing or course in Sanscrit be it so.
But if they are to haye social
amusement together, we must con-
slider which are the most Innocent;
and if the choice lies practically in
our country towns, between kissing
and dancing, can any person serious
ly doubt which is best? Grant that
there is no guilt in the coarser prac-
tice; peasant communities have al
ways practised it; but our rural re-
gions are not peasant communities
and they have really outgrown this
form of entertainment. In Coughs
pretty hexameter poem, The Bothie
of Topper ma uolich," the lovely
peasant girl shudders when first
kissed by her more educated lover,
and thus explains it:
AS we went home, you kissed for saying your
name 1t was dreadful.
I have been kissed BEFORE she added, blushng
slightly.

not to mind it.
But. Mr.. Philip. last night and from you. it was

do not mean to put every rustic
kiss throughout our own community

There is more Catarrh In this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incureble.
For a great many years Doctors pro-
nounced IL a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly falling to cure with local treatment
pronounced II Incurabie. Science has
proven Catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires con-
stitutlonal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by T. j. Cheney &
Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constltu-
tionsl cure now on the market. 1t is
taken Internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonfal. 1t acts directly upon
the blood and mucuS surfaces OF the
system. They offer one hundred dol
lars for any case it fails to cure. Send

LAST FRIDAY was black Friday
for the Anarchists, but we venture to
saw that the country at large feels re-
lleved mt the fact that four of the Chi
cago bomb-ttrowers were swung into
eternity, while one of them blew the
top of his head off with the very ma
chine which took the lives of many
policemen on Hay market square.
Spies, Engel, Parsons and Fisher
were hung, while Lingg, the most
desperate of the seven, escaped the
hangman's rope by committing suicide
in jail. The sentence of Schwab and
Fielden was commuted to imprison-
ment for life. So much for anarchy.
The fate of these men should certain
" serve as lesson to their surviving
comrades that this country will not
stand murder in its system of political
economy and that retribution is sure
to follow all future attempts at such
disastrous work as the anarchists be-
lieve in.

ELECTION returns last week brought
surprise to nearly everybody-pleas
ant to some, and disagre.able to 9th
ers. One thing was noticeable, that
q republican wave swept over the old
democratic counties of Centre, Clinton
and northumberland. The result o1
the election of this county may be
found at the head of this page in
tabular torn. Clinton county elected
Capt. w. j. Lealy, Rep, over james
A. Wensel, Dem, for sheriff, r. NJ
Glenn, Rep, over s. Woods Caldwell,
Dem, for treasurer, while the balance
of the democratic ticket squeezed
through with small majorities. In
Northumberland county the principal
Offices will also be filled by Republi-
cans. Kremer, Rep, for sheriff, and
Kremer Rep, for treasurer, and Sny-
der and Newhard, Rep, for commits
sioners. The Democrats managed to
elect Mann for Prothonotary.
Republican Sndyer county takes a
tilt the other way and elects q demo,
cratic sheriff in the person of Mr.
Dresse
Union county holds its own and
goes Republican as usual.
Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1887-11-17

THE most surprising feature of the
recent very y'quiet election wasthat the
Republicans of this county elected
nearly their whole ticket. A surprise
to the Republicans as well as to the
Democrsts. The latter have been pro-
pounding the question ever since on
whose shoulders to lay the blame, and
when all done they come to the con-
clusion that it is every body's and no.
nobody Is fault While 1--WE labor to
lay the blame where it belongs it
would beswell to study the figures
which clearly indicate large stay-at.
home vote, which is no doubt the re-
suit of defective organization and con-
sequent indifference Of the rank and
file, and, after all, nobody but the
Democrats themselves are to blame.
But, since there is no Iuse crying o.
bout split milk, the next best thing TO
do il to take fresh start and begin
work in systematic and clean way.
Centre county is still o democratic
county, though Democracy has grown
lukewarm. An important campaign
is before us in 1888 and what was lost
this fall by carelessness and blunder-
ing, may easily be regained next year
by earnest and judicious work. Take
heart and try again.

SUCCESSFUL HAWKING.
1t Is PEI formed by Brave Thomas
Cat I'm Admirable Style.

EDISON, Pa, November. Il. -Yester.
day an immense hawk. which had for
some days been trying In vain for q
chance to swoop down on Sin on Clay's
poultry yayd and capture chicken.
resolved to make dinner on something
belonging to Clay and pounced upon a
maltese cat that was summing itself In
the back yard. The hawk lifted the cat
easily enough and was moving away
when the cat recovered from its sur
prise and began to sauirm and claw.
Feathers began to tumble out of the
hawk In showers and the big bird,
which had reached a height OF a hun
dred feet with Its unusual prey, seeing
that 1t had caught a tarter, looses It's
talons and the cat dropped like aplumb
bob.
The hawk must have been woefully
hungry, for 1t swooped down on the cat
and seized 1t before IL reached the
ground. That was good thing for
the cat, for IL IL had struck the earth at
the rate 1t was going all nine OF Its lives
would have gons out at once. But this
second capture was bad for the hawk.
He grabbed the cat near the tail and
had hardly reoyerea himself sufficiently
to begin his upward flight, when the
cat, Hlled with fury, twisted around
and reached for the hawk with her
paws. She caught the big birds thi oat
In her teeth and set the claws OF her
fore feet deep In the feathers OF his
neck.
That was the end OF the fight. The
hawk pounded and Topped with his
great wings. but 1t was useless. His
wind was effectually shut off and he
auttered to the ground with the cat.
and by the time the two reached the
earth the bird was In his last gasp.
The interesting and novel fight in
mId-air was witnessed by several, and
when they reached the spot where the
combatants came down, the cat sat ty
the side of It's self yanquished foe COM
placently licking the wounds the hawks
tallons had made, which were deep, but
not serious.

EMPEROR William, OF Germany, is
reported failing in health and his death
Is almost daily looked for. While the
beloved old monarch is lying ct
deaths door, Crown Prince Frederick
is seriously sick with en- ulcerous af-
fection at his neck, which necessitates
frequent operations and which leaves
him in very precarious condition at
times. And thus the German empire
may be robbed OF both its executive
heads and may have to look for q
reigning monarch in one OF the remot-
er branches of the house of Holstein.
